This sounds like an issue with your client. Can you provide your /etc/nsswitch.conf file contents? If you see timeouts like this, you could be using padl_ldap instead of SSSD which has no cache, and it "blocks". It could also because because you have the nsswitch lines in the wrong order. For example: %groups files ldap VS %grous ldap files If you have the first lie (files then ldap), it checks local /etc/group first, then ldap. If you have the latter, it checks LDAP first, which will block causing the timeout, then on failure, will check local files. So provide this file (/etc/nsswitch.conf) and I can advise more.
